Some fifteen years after Swedish car magazine Teknikens Värld forced Mercedes-Benz to hastily upgrade its newly introduced at the time A-Class, when in 1997, its journalists flipped over the tall hatchback during the now-infamous "moose" or "elk" test, the same publication is claiming that the latest generation of the Jeep Grand Cherokee is prone to rolling over.

Swedish Magazine Claims that New Jeep Grand Cherokee is "Lethal" in Moose Test
Some fifteen years after Swedish car magazine Teknikens Värld forced Mercedes-Benz to hastily upgrade its newly introduced at the time A-Class, when in 1997, its journalists flipped over the tall hatchback during the now-infamous "moose" or "elk" test, the same publication is claiming that the latest generation of the Jeep Grand Cherokee is prone to rolling over.
As it does with most new cars launched in Sweden, Teknikens Värld subjected the latest Grand Cherokee (launched in the country last year) to the moose test, which is a high-speed steering maneuver designed to simulate the driver's efforts to evade an obstacle that suddenly appears on the road - such as a moose, hence the name of the test.
The magazine found that in its base configuration for the Swedish market, and despite being fitted with an anti-rollover system, the new Jeep Grand Cherokee "shows potentially fatal rollover tendencies at low speed in our avoidance maneuver test".
"Such behavior is totally unacceptable in 2012," said Teknikens Värld's Linus Pröjtz.
